RESIN TIPS
■ 01: Resin & epoxy are interchangeable in this context
■ 02: Keep resin/epoxy at room temperature
■ 03: Read mixing directions, it takes longer than you think
■ 04: Make sure your work surface is level
■ 05: Shinier mold = shinier surface finish
■ 06: Remove pigment seals beforehand so you’re not rushing against the clock
■ 07: Try swirling things around after they’re in the mold
■ 08: The blowtorch removes bubbles
■ 09: Add texture with beads, crystals, and glitter
■ 10: Pouring more lets you move around what’s already there
■ 11: You can file and sand resin!
■ 12: Alcohol ink can drop to the bottom and drip down the edges
■ 13: Experiment with pigment-to-epoxy ratios
■ 14: It helps to have a goal in mind - color scheme, general shape, etc
■ 15: Stop messing with it once the workable time is winding down
■ 16: Paint pens can be used to add fine detail on top

    Guys please make sure you're using gloves and a mask anytime you're working resin, not just if it's a lot. Neglecting safety precautions when working with resin is a large cause of chemical pneumonia and lung cancer it is so so important to make sure you're safe. I really wish they had used proper equipment and mentioned this more in this video because even if they're ok with taking those risks, many people don't understand how important that is and will unintentionally put themselves at risk

    EDIT: After 3 years of working with resin we've learned a TON! The most important thing we didn't emphasize in this video is respiration safety. Wear a mask rated for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when mixing epoxy or resin (especially when inside). Read the safety sheets for your resin. Also use a respirator rated for fine particulate when sanding epoxy!

    Please use gloves and the respirator through the whole process with resin (mixing--sanding) especially when making how to videos. Even when mixing resin it releases vapors that can cause reactions and chemical pneumonia. You may choose to opt out but kids watch these videos and they need to see the safe way to handle these chemicals.

    The wrinkles are more from the alcohol inks(gold mostly), as it doesn't sink down like the other colors. Silver and some black alcohol inks will stay mostly on top. Evan was doing the "Petri Dish" method. On some spots, you can see where he mixed the white in with the other colors and didn't get the effect that he got on the sides of his first pour. Also, if you plan on doing more with alcohol inks, I would suggest looking at the Ranger Adirondacks Alcohol inks. But still use the Piñata white, it is denser than the other white alcohol inks.

    I'm almost sure you could. but I think it would be quite expensive. There are some kind of flooring and table / balcony product that is a resin, less expensive, and sometimes, less clear. With a proper set of silicone molds you could do your tiles. But remember that the "special" colors and additives are expensive too and many times sold in small portions. you could try to buy larger sizes and save some money

    As a tip, faster cure resin is typically cheaper than slow cure. Also we haven't found the additives /colors to be too expensive because you use such a little amount to add color. You could also buy cheap hex tiles and just coat them with resin to get the colorful look, but not have a fully resin tile. Good luck!

    You can also use your scrap pieces of plywood and use them as well. Just make sure to tape the under side and use something(the little cups) to have the board off of the workspace. You also don't need a blowtorch to get rid of the bubbles, a heatgun works just as well and it can make some really cool looking effects(cells,lacing,etc..) the heatgun will also make the resin more viscous from heating up. If you just want the bubbles popped, use the lowest setting. You can also spray 90-99% alcohol over the resin to remove bubbles. I would recommend to paint(I just use spray paint) the wood first before using it as a canvas. If you don't, some of the resin will soak into the wood and you may not have enough to cover your entire piece. I would also recommend to put some resin down before you start as it will allow the other resin to flow easier than just on a painted board.

    EvanAndKatelyn Forgot to say that you can also get the silicone round and square cake molds in a variety of dimensions(I think the largest is the 10" round cake mold) and use that instead of wood. Also if you put a clear topcoat over your resin art, you will have a better looking piece. It adds depth to the colors and the figure that the resin does.
